I Don'T Thank God

I don't thank God for the nourishment on my plate. I don't thank God for the food I just ate. I thank instead the plants and animals who had to die in order for me to live and survive. I look forward to my demise actually because no more lives then will ever end because of me.

Dear Billy, I'm still thinking about this one. Who knows about beginnings and endings? I'm also still thinking about "Dear Dad" and wish our shared sorrow didn't have to be. I am so sorry about your son. How old was he? Jeannie was 21. Be well, Kathy
